Chicago Chronicle. Graveyards In Cblna. The wife of an American naval officer stationed at Tien-tsin writes thus to a friend in Baltimore: "The trip by train from the landing to Tien-tsin takes about an hour and a half. The cars are not palatial, but they are comfortable. When you land, hundreds of coolies be eiege you for your baggage. You won der how it ever reaches its destination in safety. The trip is somewhat inter esting, but rather defclate to take alone. Yon pass through miles cf graveyards. There are thousands cf mounds without 'a sign of green grass or green leaf.

"Tbe most improved form of the tca :hine has, as you know, cn extremely large cylinder, nearly four times the uze of the ordinary one, and for some anknown reascu it very materially in rreases the volume of sound. It would l?em, then, to be a logical inference Ibat the bigger the cylinder the louder llie tone, and, proceeding on that theory, i very bright young electrician of this :ity started the other day to build an nstrument that was really gigantic. "He put it together without much trouble and made an experimental cyl inder nearly a foot in diameter. I was present when it was tested. Every part )f the machine worked perfectly, and a beautifully engraved record was secur 2d, but when the transmitter was at tached we were astonished to find that :he sound was barely audible. As near ly as we could figure it out the tone was magnified up to a certain point by making the cylinder larger, but beyond that the process was reversed, and it was progressively dimiaished.

Ilovr Frozen Insect Rerlve. Experiments in reviving frozen in sects, by Mr. S. F. Aaron, show some surprising results.

An English writer who has evidently mffered inveighs rather severely against the long extolled thrift of the French housekeeper, which, if it be thrift, is, iccording to bis notion, pernicious jconomy.. He considers the meager messes served and reserved until the last scrap is consumed which make up ihe course dinner of the French people most unsatisfactory and far from ap petizing. "It has been said, ' ' he quotes, 'that a French housekeeper will serve a grilled chicken foot, making it a sub stantial course." This he denies not the service, but the substantial part )f it As to the soup of the provincial Trench home, be asserts it ia not a thing to be described by the uninitiated, tnd it ia certainly not meant for a deli cate palate. It tastes like hot water in vhich quantities of cabbage have been soiled. "Then," he goes on to affirm, the only dish of meat will often con ust of that which has been used in the making of the -soup." This testimony is borne out by Amer ican travelers, who get very tired of joup meat as a dinner dish. For the iavoring and finishing of a dish the French are doubtless unsurpassed, but ihe allegation that tbe sauce is made more important than the substantial md that the garnishing takes prece- lence over the dish it surrounds is not without considerable foundation.
